The Bridge of
Flowers in Shelburne Falls, Mass., near the Mohawk Trail in the
Berkshire
foothills, affords visitors views from just about every perspective.
Four hundred feet of more than 500 varieties of flowers, shrubs and
vines -- and a splendid view of the picturesque Deerfield River --
results in a
virtual horticultural and naturalist paradise just outside one of New
England's most quaint downtown villages. Starting just off the Norman
Rockwell-like street main street of Shelburne
Falls and ending up in
revitalized Buckland -- with a food coop, restaurants, an ice cream
shop, street musicians and more -- the Bridge of Flowers is a
one-of-a-kind attraction. This former trolley bridge is solely
dependent on the donations of from the public and the work of local
volunteers, with colorful displays spanning from April to October. It's
really the ultimate place for fans of gardens, bridges, water views, nature,
scenery and travel landmarks!
